Chen Mingren and Lu Daoyuan's two units will certainly retreat swiftly. Therefore, you should deploy one army that has not yet been used to advance through Yuezhou¹² toward Changsha and Xiangtan at an appropriate time, and take over this line. This army should now move into the area north of Yuezhou and prepare to rapidly advance and occupy Changsha, shortening the period of anarchy in that region.
